In a statement, Terror Universal say: “We want to inform you, that due to personal differences, and the course of events these past couple of weeks, Chad Armstrong is no longer the lead singer for Terror Universal.

“We will debut the new singer this weekend at the Texas Independence Fest. Next week we will post live video, so you can all hear and see our new kick ass singer. We promise, our new frontman is everything you would expect from TU.

“We wish Chad good luck, and thank all Terror Universal friends and fans for all your support.”

Shamaya claimed Armstrong groped her crotch while on tour in February. Armstrong’s wife Jenny strongly denied the claim and Civil Unrest organisers said: “Otep is not telling the truth.”
